| Subject: Rights violation: Michigan county threatens to bulldoze Amish homes in poop dispute Sat Jan 25, 2020 4:13 pm | |
| As late afternoon sun streamed into the home’s spare living area, an Amish couple recalled the day this past August when a Lenawee County health official came to their door to post a notice.
“Do Not Enter,” it warned. “Unfit For Human Habitation.”
And below that: “Order to Vacate.”
An accompanying letter warned that the county could seize their home if they failed to comply with county codes for sewage disposal and household wastewater. Similar notices were posted on more than a dozen Amish homes in this rural county just north of the Ohio border, sending waves of fear through the growing Amish community.
“I was scared. I was afraid they would come get us,” the community’s bishop told Bridge Magazine.
